If, would, should, could. Smart GM’s don’t rely on IF. Sure IF Bynum were focused and in the shape he was five years ago there would be no argument. But we’re not dealing in fantasies here.

Philly traded for Bynum and he never suited up, Philly didn’t just flat out sign him as if he was a Free Agent so I don’t count that

Bulls LOL, good try, we all know Bynum was NEVER in the bulls plans for the future

Cleveland-yes they offered him a contract and then cut him before he was owed the second half of his contract because they weren’t sold on him but look at Cleveland in general… that franchise is a joke so who knows if it was Bynum or just management so your points are invalid to a certain degree Mr. PhillyCannon

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 22:42:29 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286133I’m from LA and know exactly how Bynum is, Lord knows I watched enough of his antics when he was a Laker, my whole point is Bynum now has a reputation for being a lazy player and not being motivated…if he pulls these kinds of antics with the Pacers NO ONE will sign him because he’s not worth the headache so yes he basically needs to hoop to get a contract next year, it doesn’t matter if he has size or skills, if you’re a headache no team will put up with you

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 22:21:38 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286130lol. Comprendez? That was hilarious.

Yes. Bynum at his peak is worth a max contract and championship contention. Mahinmi- not so much.
The point is, anyone who watches basketball knows that Bynum is nowhere near, nor will ever be near his peak for 3 main reasons:

1. Maturity
2. Health
3. The owner’s impulsive over-spending on any big with a hint of superior talent, regardless of warning signs and flags. Giving him no reason to change.

So to even imply his potential could be reached almost feels like you’re insulting your readers intelligence.
The absolute best that can come out of this pickup (other than Bynum having an emancipation) is solid minutes of backup time, similar to what Mahinmi brings. The worst? Well we’ve seen pretty bad from him already, but he is capable of disrupting an amazing chemistry and throwing a big wrench in the pacers run to dethrone the heat, on top of the knees and foolishness.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:31:21 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286120Work on reading comprehension. I said Bynum is an upgrade when focused, and there is no doubt that peak Bynum is far superior. Also, you can’t blame this recent collapse on Bynum as he has not even played. Really, it’s not even Evan Turner’s fault, but at least he is on the court and his shooting has defenders playing off him and daring him.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 20:53:04 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286103trying to play for a contract next season????? Man please! This dude hasnt played over 20 lately and this will be his 4th team in a year. A nba team will give him a contract regardless if he plays or not. See Sixers, Cleveland, Chicago(cut i know), and now the Pacers.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:22:20 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286073@Kurt Helin – I wouldn’t judge Bynum as an upgrade on Mahinmi due to scoring for several reasons:

1) Scoring isn’t always a good measure of what you bring to the team. Especially if your defense is lacking.
2) While Bynum can be a decent defender, it’s either when he’s feeling well or chooses to put in the effort.
3) You have to wonder whether Bynum is a team chemistry issue for the Pacers. In the three years or so that this group has been together, they’ve never had a defensive lapse like this. The Pacers may yet end up regretting this signing.

I seriously question whether Bynum has more value to the Pacers than Mahinmi at this point in Bynum’s career. Bynum still hasn’t convinced me that he’s doing anything more than collecting paychecks, and that in itself can demoralize a team.

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:06:03 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=697172#comment-286064completely out of shape, and Coach Vogel wanted to make sure he got into shape 1st then see how his knee responds to practice before putting him out there in real live game action. It was a smart move by Coach Vogel and management. I think Bynum will be engaged because he’s trying to play for a contract next season so he pretty much has no choice to play hard if he wants another contract this upcoming off season

Can’t wait to watch the next Bynum train wreck.

(I just hope Indiana can hold it together long enough to knock Miami out of the playoffs)
